Daulton Varsho Toronto Blue Jays Seattle Mariners

SEATTLE, Wash. — The Toronto Blue Jays are looking to regain momentum in the American League Championship Series (ALCS) as they face off against the Seattle Mariners tonight at 8:08 p.m. EDT. With the Mariners leading the series, the Blue Jays need strong performances from key players to stay in contention.

Daulton Varsho is a standout option for daily fantasy sports (DFS) lineups on FanDuel. The outfielder excelled this season against right-handed pitchers, posting a .591 slugging percentage. Varsho, who hit 20 home runs in 71 games this year, has continued to produce at the plate in the postseason with a remarkable .696 slugging percentage.

Another top pick is Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who carries an impressive 1.179 OPS through six postseason games, including three home runs. Guerrero has demonstrated strong batting skills and has performed well on the road, registering a .901 OPS away from Toronto this season.

For the Mariners, Owen Naylor is also an intriguing pick. Despite struggling with walks, he has managed a .290 batting average this postseason with two doubles and a home run. With a chance to show off his power against Toronto’s pitching lineup, Naylor’s ability to steal bases adds depth to his DFS appeal.

Randy Arozarena has not hit his peak during the playoffs but remains a key asset with his previous season performance where he nearly achieved 30 home runs, 30 doubles, and 30 stolen bases. Even though his postseason hasn’t been stellar, his record against right-handed pitchers like Toronto’s Shane Bieber is worth watching.

Jahmai Jones has emerged as a surprising contributor this postseason, hitting .412. His unexpected performance could bring added value at a lower salary, making him worth considering.

As the games progress, each player’s performance will be crucial for both teams. The excitement builds as the Mariners aim to solidify their position in the series while the Blue Jays fight for survival.
